Sudokuaholics Anonymous 7

well Y not.

And Trouble's Mum has a booboo too!

Suzy, great minds again. I'd switched to my stuck in the chimney avatar for the day, then saw yours, then thought, oh well.
Some people here need to realise that hot things burn! Did I mention that Son#2 burnt himself on his motorbike exhaust yesterday? It's big, and with his susceptibility to staph infections, I will be keeping an eye on it and him.

Heidi, how about Essay (SA), then we could call it our mascot!

Add him to the list Susan! OUCH!

Cyn, I have just been to look at your photos too.
My heart is soaring for you.

Oh, I didn't mean to sound 'up myself' when I said 'great minds'. I really meant to say 'snap'.
I think the humidity here is over 1000%, and the temp is in the 30s. It wasn't a good day to spend helping the males of the house clean out FIL's shed - stinking headache now. I need to put the taxi sign back on my car and leave again - MIL's car has broken down.

I burnt myself once with the sliding hot thing.
Nasty rotten things they are, should be banned!
I was ironing the top I was ABOUT to put on...yep, you guessed it, right across my tummy!!!

Drink plenty of water Susan...sounds like a heat headache to me, trust me, I'm an expert, having just had Hannah home for the day!

Curiosity is a good name for a putty cat.

Hey, guess what? Sitting here is NOT getting the dinner cooked!
Catch you later.

CynB, just looked through your photos - you must be ecstatic. When I told Hubby your story - he'd remembered you telling us at the Coast - believe it or not, I had tears in my eyes. Must go.

Speaking about that hot slidy thing thing - has anybody used one of those steamer things? I noticed an el cheapo one in Homeart the other day - but my daughter has one and swears by it but I don't know what brand hers is - AND I guess that can burn just as easily as the slidy thing.

Thnkas for the lovely comments on the pics girls, much appreciated. Gail, none of us had seen Chloe since she was about 9 months old.
eaa - sorry I missed you - was off playing Letter Rip - bad girl that I am.

Yeah I know...still here!
Cyn, they use them in a lot of the clothes shops for when they are putting the clothes out on display. Certainly looks easy to use and supposedly does a good job.

Thnkas = thanks

Couldn't have happened to a nicer person Cyn.
Really outta here now!

Hello, Everyone! I'm really enjoying all the beautiful and bright avatars!

MizT, thank you for letting us know about Rob's husband. I have sent her a PM.

Yes, Gail - the cheapo one was about $40 but I wasn't going to even pay that much if it didn't work well. I like the idea of leaving the clothes hanging instead of putting up the ironing board - that's what I hate!!

Those steamy thing-a-me-jigs sounds like a good idea, would have to be easier than the slidy whatsit.

i must choof of now.Bye all

Hi Julie

Bye eaa

eaa, sorry to hear about your bruised ankle! Did you kick the cow back?

Bean, I hope your burn is healing!

Vici, please take care of your burn!

Tami, I'm sorry to hear about your finger! Is it on your writing hand?

Ally, I hope your burn isn't too severe!

Suzy, I'm sorry your hot slidy thing caused you to get a burn!

Vivacious Viv, I'm sorry the trojan horse virus is causing so much trouble for you! I hope that gets taken care of promptly!

Heidi, I hope your trailer hitch and trailer get returned to you promptly. Good luck with the new birds, and I hope you don't get chosen for jury duty!

June, it's good to see your posts! How is everything with your family? We'll keep those prayers coming your way.

Susan, I hope nothing bad develops from S#2's burn! Those motorbike exhaust burns can be big and deep.

It's nearly 1 am here, and I need to be awake again in about 5 hours, so I'm out of here, everyone! Hope your day/night is pleasurable!

Thanks Gail and Julie. Gail, I know those headaches are caused by heat and humidity. It took me many years to realise though. The trouble was I also drank that much water that I ended up with a stomach ache. I definitely live in the wrong part of Australia.

Susan - thanks for that nice message - I can remember almost breaking down when trying to tell you all that night.
Hope your headache eases. Any sign of a summer storm? I always find that as soon as a storm breaks my headache goes away.

I tried one of those hot steamy / hot slidy combos that I saw on TV - on one of the morning shows. I sent it back for a refund. All it did was wet the clothes, it weighed a ton, and had a cord about 50 cm long. Now if I could find a good steamy thing, I'd buy it. Wash the clothes, hang on coathangers (as I do), steam them, wear them. Sounds good, and if anyone knows of a good one, please tell me. These days I only iron for MOTH and myself. I just started that in the past month or so, and let the kids decide whether they wanted to iron their own, or wear them crinkled. They chose crinkled. I still iron their more difficult really good items, but those aren't worn much anyway.

Yes, CynB, that dreadful heat and humidity always precedes a storm. There's been thunder all day. Last night, Townsville got 5" of rain, closing some major shopping centres for the second time in a week. The underground car parks flood, and the shops also get a soaking. I must use that hot thing in the k place now. I didn't get to eat lunch, but feeling a fair bit better now. I love the air con right through the house, otherwise I'd still be sick.

Jumping in here without reading, hope all is well.

Looks like everyone must be gone, will go and catch up.

Julie, thanks for the update, not up to reading all the pages. Going to sit on the side deck with Bella and enjoy the cool evening breeze.

Broni, that sounds so good. Stupid electricians put our air cons on tariff without consulting me, so they're off now, for up to 2 hours. Next time a sparky comes, I'm taking the living area ones off tariff.

Susan my air con are ceiling fans! But it is worth it to have the breeze blowing thru but when it's not ewewewewewewew!

And there's me thinking of lighting the fire!

Ewewewewewew Dag!!!!

It's Ok for you up there Broni, it's freezing in Melbourne tonight, you go light the fire Gail - but don't burn yourself like most others have.
